Title
On the Supernatural Rights of the Dead
Description
The secular rights surrounding dead bodies are conditional and possess unfortunate shortcomings. The existence of ghosts as representatives of the supernatural seem to make up for those shortcomings and provide a firmer foundation for rights. Thus I explore the existence of supernatural rights of the dead as present in a wide basis of belief systems. From this I examine the connection between the supernatural rights and the current discussions on secular rights of the dead, finding the supernatural rights acting as an impetus for the secular.
